If it looks like a duck, and it walks like a duck, then it’s probably not Eidos Montreal’s Thief reboot. VG247′s Brenna Hillier is unfairly disappointed to learn Thief is not Dishonored 2.0, despite the initial visual similarities.

Thief’s art technical director Jean-Normand Bucci has stated in a new interview that the gap between PC and next-gen consoles has become “massively reduced.” He’s given a technical insight into the reboot’s features across PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Get the skinny inside.

The first of said tales is told by Basso, who you […]

Here’s a delightful little blip: UK newspaper The Sun apparently ran a story on cybernetic implants this week, making mention of an eyeball implant manufactured by “US firm Sarif Industries”. Sarif Industries is, of course, an entirely fictional company within the universe of Deus Ex, and the eyeball shown is a piece of Eidos Montreal’s […]
